![Question](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi,
I have my PR VISA on passport till Nov2007, I got it stamped for the initial entry on my short trip to Sydney.
Now I am confused that how much time is left for me to move to Australia to complete the 2 year period.
Can I go in Nov 2007 and then stay there or Do I have to go there before Nov 2005 to complete my 2 year period till Nov 2007.
Please, any help would be highly appreciated...

To make things simple for yourself, aim to be back in Australia by Nov 2005 at the latest.
I suggest you read form 968i:
